Care centre director Shaun O’Gara said: “The opening of the Bridge is great news for Middlesbrough and the people we will be supporting. This will be a centre of excellence for the delivery of highly specialised complex care services.

“We will focus on people’s abilities, not their limitations, as we support them, and their loved ones, while they are with us.

“We will be bringing an integrated approach to the care we provide to ensure residents get the care and treatment most appropriate and effective for them.”

The Bridge has 40 care suites over four floors, a therapeutic swimming pool and spa area, a gym and therapy rooms equipped with specialist equipment, and a lifestyle kitchen for independent living skills assessment and programmes.
